I would never dispute the fact that a toner cartridge that counts images and dies at 700 prints is a screwed up problem. BUT THE REASON TO USE THE PANTUM AT ALL IS BECAUSE THIS PRINTER HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED SOUP TO NUTS HOW TO EASILY HACK IT APART AND MAKE IT PRINT TO COPPER NOBODY NOBODY did this with any other printer so far that makes it actually feasible to go buy that printer and do the hack per the detailed guidance of the hack author. http://www.instructables.com/id/Modification-of-the-Pantum-2502W-for-Direct-Laser-/
IF you HAVE A BETTER laser printer hack documented then please share. If NOT then this PANTUM hack is good enough for me...even if I have to pay $50 for toner.
Perhaps with time and all of us tearing into these machines somebody may invent the counter hack. Considering the caliber of the engineers dabbling with these electronics gadgets hacks I figure its only a matter of time.
